INSTRUCTIONS

  • Adjust oven racks to upper and lower third of oven and preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Blend cooled melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined, about a minute. Pour in cake mix and flour and continue mixing just until blended. Stir in candy, pecans, white chocolate chips, and peanut butter chips.
  • Scoop cookie dough into 2 tablespoon portions and roll into balls. Place sprinkles in a small bowl. Flatten cookie dough balls into 2-inch discs and press top of each into sprinkles. Place 8 cookies on a large baking sheet, evenly spaced.
  • Bake 2 pans of cookies at a time, placing one in top third of oven and one in bottom third. Bake 14 to 16 minutes, until edges are lightly browned. Rotate pans halfway through baking for even cooking.
  • Remove cookies from oven and cool on pans for 2 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. Melt milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Spread about a teaspoon of melted chocolate on each PEEPS® Marshmallow and place each on top of a cookie. Serve and enjoy these delicious Christmas cookies!
